isn’t<\/strong> a ‘get out of jail free card’. I speak to a lot of people. I consult for a lot of different businesses. I’ve encountered a lot of problems to do with link building. What’s really important to remember is that your rankings aren’t going to return to where they were prior to a Penguin hit. A lot of those links that were helping you rank and get traffic back then will not be counting anymore. You need to realize that when this tool works, you’re not going to back to where you were, but you will hopefully be in a good place to move forward.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Finally, if you received that Google Webmaster Tools email, you’re going to have to submit a re-inclusion request. The biggest tip I can give you is to be as detailed as possible. You’re going to want to give Google as much information as you possibly can. Hopefully, this will help you recover.<\/p>\n
So how is this done? Start by acknowledging your problems. Be sure to talk about the bad stuff you found, why it was implemented and who did it. Now remember earlier I said to keep a record of all your link clean up attempts? You want to make sure that you link off to as much information as you can. The large spreadsheet I spoke about, do it in Google Docs. That way, in the re-inclusion request, you can link to the actual spreadsheet, Google can then get in there and can actually see the list of emails you sent; whether you’ve succeeded in removing the links, whether any of the webmasters wrote back and said, “Sorry. We’re not going to remove it for whatever reason”.<\/p>\n
It makes sense to mention the disavow file you submitted in the re-inclusion request, they will probably know about it, but it can’t hurt. Finally, submit and wait. This can take even longer than the several weeks that Google spoke about for the disavow. You’re going to have to wait for a Googler to manually come and review your request, make a decision on it, and come back to you.<\/p>\n
